Title: Weird keyboard bug?
Post by: OverDhill on May 13, 2016, 05:03:55 pm

I am testing a Voiceattack profile I am working on and have come across a weird bug. Not sure what is causing it but here goes.

I have the Delete key assigned to Decrease Weapon Energy and when I speak the command that would execute the command and send the Delete key it seems to send out a Numpad * which is assigned to Chase View.

 I even created a simple one command Voicecommand test profile and it recreated the problem. 

And the weird part... it works correctly in Notepad. This is what made me pull my hair out.

I decided to try and test this another way. I went into the Freespace 2 Open control settings screen and clicked "Bind" then spoke the command to send the Delete key and sure enough the Numpad - . showed as the new bind.

So I am not sure if Voiceattack is somehow sending the wrong key (at least the way Freespace 2 sees it as it works in Notepad) or that Freespace 2 Open is reading it incorrectly for some reason.

And on further testing:

I tested DCS and it worked fine but when I tested it in IL-2 1946 is did the same thing and sent a Numpad *

Any ideas?

This sounds like a problem with Voiceattack rather than FSO.
